REVIEW

Our man who likes to surprise people, Christian, has a VW Golf GTE, the hybrid Golf which unfortunately you can’t buy any more thanks to annoying emissions regulation changes. So he has chosen the next best thing in the Golf range – the e-Golf. There’s no internal combustion engine backup here, this is a fully electric Golf and is pretty much the perfect car for most who do limited mileages. So you have a 135bhp electric motor which given decent performance, minimal running costs and yet still have the amazing VW Golf to drive every day, with the best cabin in the sector and the cool yet understated looks. You’ll get about 130-150 miles range from a charge in the real world and you can charge to 80% in 30-40 minutes if you use a fast charger at a services. It may not be Christian’s GTE, but this is a great Golf to own!
